Description

Recent research indicates that high performing principals don’t work longer hours than other principals – they do however spend their time differently. They are able to focus their time and efforts on the practices that have the biggest impact on the learning environment of their school and consequently the outcomes of their students.

School leaders face and cope with a number of demands across operational, relational, strategic and systemic fronts. The importance and the ability to weave and shift focus according to the current demands of their school, underscores the importance to be able to choose their response and focus their attention purposefully and sustainably.

Principals need to be mindful of how and where they pay attention. Mindfulness training provides principals with the opportunity to train their attention, choose their distractions, and focus on what is important from a place of calmness and clarity. This ultimately makes their work more manageable (and enjoyable) and their lives less stressful.

This cross sectoral project with a maximum of 30 participants offers senior school leaders the opportunity to work with Jo Klap, an acknowledged expert in mindfulness to develop work techniques, mind training and mental strategies. The workshops will take place over an approximately 3 month period.

In order to maximise the learning and minimise the time you are away from your schools these workshops will be breakfast seminars, beginning at 7.30 and finishing by 9.00 am.

This program includes:

1 x Introductory Workshop (90 mins)
8 x Weekly Workshops (60-90 minutes each)
2 x Follow-up Workshops to reinforce and develop the practice and learnings.
Training Materials and Support

So come along and join us and give both yourself and your school the gift of calm, clear and focused you.
